What is IO route in IV access?
IO stands for intraosseous. One can establish vascular access by using a very stiff needle and drilling it into a bone ( usually the leg) so as to reach the marrow cavity. An IV can then be hooked up and fluids and medications can be administered into the bone marrow, where it will move to the circulation in the body.

Why all drugs are not given through parenteral route?
Most take medications at home and do not have the training nor the equipment to do so. Only drugs designed and intended for administration via a parenteral route should be taken that way. If drugs designed to be taken orally are administered parenterally the "user" could be harmed, and the medication may work very differently than intended. In addition, most drugs are tested as orally administered medications. The way they are absorbed, how they are metabolized, and the dose and time to effect are all designed for oral administration.

This results in a quicker onset of action compared to traditional oral routes. Examples of medications administered sublingually include certain heart medications and anti-anxiety drugs.
